Oregon Iron Works

Founded in 1944, Oregon Iron Works (OIW) is a pioneering force in the fabrication and manufacturing industries. The company began achieving success as a structural fabricator in the demanding hydroelectric, bridge and civil construction trades by applying modern manufacturing techniques to products that were typically fabricated using conventional methods. In 2014 OIW merged with Vigor a leader in the ship building and ship repair industry. Today OIW, now Vigor Works continues this tradition of innovation for the marine, aerospace, nuclear, transit and renewable energy industries building varied products ranging from complex bridges to sophisticated military patrol craft in steel, stainless, aluminum, titanium or other exotic materials. Unlike other fabricators, Vigor Works continues its long tradition as an extremely innovative business that is constantly adapting and expanding its core expertise in order to meet customer needs and program requirements. In-house CNC capabilities include cutting, burning, shearing, milling, machining, turning, forming, rolling, painting and sophisticated inspection.
